Hi Edd

First, I'm not sure why you see this as a problem, it will behave the same way 
as when you are motoring.

But you can turn off the ACR, just put a switch in the negative wire connection 
on the ACR.  Disconnecting the negative wire renders it non-functional, which 
would then let you charge banks separately.

When I installed my ACR I actually disconnected one of the dual outputs from my 
charger, now it only charges the house bank directly and the starting bank thru 
the ACR.

Listers,

Finally coming out of my depression (about the boating season being over — not 
the election) and am seeking a recommendation for a good on board battery 
charger.

Here’s the rub — I’m learning that most of the smart chargers out there, like a 
ProSport, won’t work with my system because I have a house bank and an engine 
bank — and when over 13 volts is detected, the ACR kicks in and charges both 
banks, throwing off the ProSport and letting the volts just keep climbing.

Anyone now of a good wall-mount charger that will just kick in 13-14V or so 
when operating? It won’t be used often — just the rare occasions when I’m 
plugged in to shore power.


All the best,

Edd
